3 Preinstallation Requirements

3.1 Accessibility Software Recommendations

Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible to the disabled community. Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) supports accessibility features. To make best use of these accessibility features, Oracle recommends the following software configuration:

4.1 Latest Upgrade Information

For late-breaking updates and best practices about preupgrade, postupgrade, compatibility, and interoperability discussions, review Note 466181.1 on My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) (https://support.oracle.com/) that links to "10g Upgrade Companion" page.

4.2 Installation Media for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008

Oracle Database is supported on Windows Vista with the 10.2.0.3 release. If you used the Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista media, then Oracle recommends that you install the 10.2.0.4 patch set. You do not need to use the Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 media.

Oracle Database is supported on Windows Server 2008 with the 10.2.0.4 release.

For new installations on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008, use the Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 media. This new software is available in the updated media pack. Use the installation instructions in this section to complete the installation.

Do not install Oracle Database on Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 using the media for Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows. Do not use the Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista or the Oracle Database 10gRelease 2 (10.2.0.3.0) for Microsoft Windows Vista and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 media to install on operating systems other than Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008.

Note:

The 10.2.0.4 patch set is available on My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink). Search for patch 6810189. Note that all 32-bit operating systems, including Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, are supported with this patch set.

Ignore the following prerequisite errors displayed during the installation:

Checking operating system requirements

Checking service pack requirements

Complete the installation.

Download the 10.2.0.5 patch set from My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) and install it. This is a required step.

4.4 Installing Oracle Database Client into an Existing Oracle Home

Oracle Database Client can be installed in the same Oracle Database home if both products are at the same release level. For example, you can install Oracle Database Client 10g Release 2 (10.2) into an existing Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2) home. If you apply a patch set before installing the client, then you must apply the patch set again.

4.5 Database Upgrade Using Database Upgrade Assistant

If the database version does not match the Oracle release version, Database Upgrade Assistant displays a warning message. The warning message incorrectly instructs you to run catpatch.sql from the Oracle Database 10g Release 1 home. Do not do this.

Workaround:

Run catpatch.sql from the rdbms\admin directory of the source Oracle home from which you are upgrading.

The issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4551401. This issue is fixed in the 10.2.0.2 patch set.

4.6 Undefined ORACLE_SID After Database Upgrade

After upgrading the database from the 10.1 to 10.2 release, the ORACLE_SID parameter is not defined in the Windows registry.

Workaround:

Set ORACLE_SID=Oracle_Sid at the command prompt before you use SQL*Plus.

Set the ORACLE_SID parameter in the registry My Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_10.2UpgradeHome\ORACLE_SID.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4534421.

4.7 Limitations with 32-Bit Windows

If you do not have sufficient address space to allocate PGA memory, you can run into ORA-04030 errors or system commands can fail with OS error 1450 or 997. The following solutions are suggested:

Run a smaller workload and use less users.

Run with the /3GB option and use Windows Enterprise Edition. Note that the /3GB option has the potential to deprive the operating system of necessary kernel resources, which can lead to Oracle instance failures. See Note 297498.1: Resolving Instance Evictions on Windows Platforms Due to OS 10055 Errors (OS-1540) on My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) at:

10.1.0.2 or 10.1.0.3 Oracle RAC or Automatic Storage Management, instances do not interoperate with 10.2 Cluster Synchronization Service on Windows. The following error may appear on the top of the stack:

/_propropen+2162 CALLrel _proprutidtoname/

Workaround:

Apply the patch for bug 3843632 to the 10.1.0.2 or 10.1.0.3 Oracle home.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 3843632.

4.9 Shutdown of Oracle Clusterware Stack May Leave Processes Running

After shutting down the Oracle Clusterware stack on a given node using the following command:

CRSCTL.EXE stop crs

the OracleEVMService or OracleCRService may not be listed in the STOPPED state. Furthermore, you may notice the existence of CRSD.EXE or EVMD.EXE in the Task Manager list of running processes. To stop these processes, issue the following commands from the operating system command prompt:

4.11 Modifying a Virtual IP Address Node Application

When modifying the name, IP address, or netmask of an existing virtual IP address (VIP) resource, use the srvctl modify nodeapps command and include the existing interfaces for the VIP in the -A argument. For example:

When Oracle Universal Installer is performing an Oracle RAC 10g Release 2 installation on a cluster that has Oracle Database release 10.1.0.4, Oracle Universal Installer gives you an option of performing an upgrade on any databases running on the system.

If you select this option to upgrade, Oracle Universal Installer starts Database Upgrade Assistant to perform the upgrade. As part of the database upgrade, Enterprise Manager Database Control is also upgraded. This does not impact the upgrade itself. The impact is that if the preupgrade version of the database is 10.1.0.4, Database Control may not start on one or more nodes after the upgrade. As a result, if you run the following command on that node:

emctl status dbconsole

it reports that Enterprise Manager Database Console is not running. Logging in through the browser also fails. This bug is intermittently observed.

Workaround:

Go to the node where the Enterprise Manager Database Console is not running.

End the emagent.exe process from the Task Manager.

Restart the OracleDBConsoleSID service.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4550226.

4.13 Error While Deleting a Remote Instance from an Oracle RAC-Shared Oracle Home Database

During a delete instance operation on a cluster database using a shared Oracle home, you can encounter the following error message if the database has been configured for Enterprise Manager Database Control:

Error updating EM configuration for node node name

As a result, the Enterprise Manager configuration is not completely removed from the node where the deleted instance was running. However, this does not have any adverse effects. You can click OK, ignore the error, and proceed.

4.15 Oracle Database 9.2 Startup Error with srvctl when the Global Services Daemon is Running in a 10.2 Home

The srvctl tool fails with the following errors when starting Oracle9i databases after Oracle Clusterware 10g Release 2 is installed and the Global Services Daemon (GSD) is started from the Oracle Clusterware home:

For the database resource (ora.*.db) mentioned in the error as being ONLINE, perform a relocation of that resource to any other node that is a part of the cluster. Run the crs_relocate command as shown below to perform the relocation:

crs_relocate name_of_the_db_resource -c cluster_node

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4564000. This issue is fixed in the 10.2.0.2 patch set.

4.18 Installing Enterprise Security Manager

4.19 Configuring Raw Devices for Storage

While Oracle Database 10g supports raw devices, tools such as Database Configuration Assistant do not support the configuration of raw devices for single instances. Instead, use Automatic Storage Management (ASM) or the file system to store database files.For Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) installations, configure raw device shared storage by stamping disks with Oracle Object Link Manager. You can also use your own scripts to configure raw devices.

The option for configuring central management of your database by Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control is not available during Oracle RAC installation on Windows. Also not supported on Windows is the use of standalone Enterprise Manager Configuration Assistant or Database Configuration Assistant to configure central management for Oracle RAC.

If you want central management for the installed Oracle RAC database, then you have to discover the Oracle RAC database target manually from Grid Control after the installation.

4.21 Postinstallation Steps for Oracle Database Extensions for .NET

Perform the following steps after installing Oracle Database Extensions for .NET.

Manually start the Multithreaded Agent Service OracleOracleHomeNameClrAgnt using the services management console. This service starts automatically after you restart your computer.

If you had selected the General Purpose Database template using Database Configuration Assistant, manually deploy the DBMSCLR package. Log in using SYSDBA privileges and run the DBMSCLR.PLB package available in the ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin directory.

To configure the Multithreaded Agent Service OracleOracleHomeNameClrAgnt configuration parameters for better performance, use the Windows Registry Editor to modify the ImagePath entry value under the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\OracleOracleHomeNameClrAgent key. Oracle recommends that you set the following values:

When a new Oracle RAC database is created either during installation or using Database Control Configuration Assistant, the Database Control console may start before the new database instance has been registered with the listener. When this happens, in some conditions, some metrics is not monitored. The following error in the Database Control console appears:

Stop and restart the Database Control console. From the Start menu, select Programs, then Oracle -HOME_NAME, then Database Control.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4591002.

4.26 Error Message in Cluster Verification Utility

If you run the Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) from the runcluvfy.bat script before installing Oracle Clusterware, the first line of output may contain the following error message:

The system cannot find the file specified.

This is a benign message which you can ignore. CVU should continue processing normally and provide the required output a short time later.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5369224.

4.27 OracleCRService Fails on Computer Restart

If different user IDs are used for installing Oracle Database 10g and Oracle Clusterware, then restarting the system results in OCR errors. See My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) Note 551478.1 for more information.

Workaround:

Oracle recommends that you apply the patch set 10.2.0.3 or higher to your Oracle Clusterware install before you patch Oracle Database.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4748946.

4.28 oraxml10.dll Error

The file oraxml10.dll gets copied to the system directory on a computer with previously installed Oracle Access Manager. This interferes with the installation of other Oracle products even after Oracle Access Manager is uninstalled, giving the following error:

The procedure entry point xqcGetXQXDOM could not be located in the dynamic link library oraxml10.dll.

Workaround:

Remove oraxml10.dll file from the system directory after uninstalling Oracle Access Manager.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6852359.

4.29 Oracle Instance Startup Error with Database Upgrade Assistant

Oracle instance does not start when Database Upgrade Assistant is started.

To ensure that only trusted applications run on your computer, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 provide User Account Control. If you have enabled this security feature, then, depending on how you have configured it, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you for either your consent or your credentials when installing Oracle Database. Provide either the consent or your Windows Administrator credentials as appropriate.

You must have Administrator privileges to run some Oracle tools, such as Oracle Universal Installer, Database Configuration Assistant, Net Configuration Assistant, and OPatch, or to run any tool or application that writes to any directory within the Oracle home. If User Account Control is enabled, and you are logged in as the local Administrator, then you can successfully run each of these commands in the usual way. However, if you are logged in as "a member of the Administrator group," then you must explicitly start these tasks with Windows Administrator privileges. Refer to "Starting Database Tools on Windows Vista" in Oracle Database Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) for more information.

All executables in the Oracle Clusterware Home should be run with administrative privileges.

To Run a Windows Shortcut with Windows Administrator Privileges:

Click the Start menu button.

Navigate to Programs, then to Oracle -HOME_NAME.

Right-click the name of the command or application you want to run, then select Run as administrator.

Note:

Many Oracle Start menu shortcuts are coded to run as administrator. When prompted, select to trust the application or grant your permission to continue.

To Start a Command Prompt Window with Windows Administrator Privileges:

On your Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008 Desktop, create a shortcut for the command prompt window. An icon for that shortcut appears on the Desktop.

Right click the icon for the newly created shortcut, and specify "Run as administrator."

When you open this window, the title bar reads Administrator: Command Prompt. Commands run from within this window are run with Administrator privileges.

5.3 Help Files Issue in Microsoft Windows Vista

Help files, such as Oracle Objects for OLE Class Library Help and Oracle Objects for OLE Help, are not accessible from the start menu. To view these help files, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article number 917607 available at the following link:

5.4.2 OS Error: (OS 21) The device is not ready

Workaround:

Use the diskpart.exe command to create a raw partition and raw logical drive on the basic disk. You can also use the Disk Management MMC snap-in to create a raw partition or raw logical drive. However, you must assign a drive letter to it when using the Disk Management MMC snap-in. Remove the drive letter after the partition or the drive is created. You enable automount before you create raw devices.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5873952.

5.5 Stamping Issue on Windows Vista

The stamped disks are not displayed in Oracle Database Configuration Assistant on Windows Vista.

Workaround:

Complete the following steps to resolve this issue:

Click Stamp Disk.

Delete the labels.

Click Stamp Disk.

Stamp the disks again.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5944993.

5.6 Support for Microsoft Active Directory for Net Naming on Windows Vista

6.1 Readme Text Files

Some Readme text files contain UNIX line breaks. If you double-click these files, they open in Notepad by default, but Notepad does not recognize UNIX line breaks. Use WordPad (write.exe) or edit.com instead.

6.2 NTS Authentication Failure with .NET Remote Objects

If NTS authentication is used with an Oracle client as a .NET remote object impersonating a user credential, then NTS authentication fails with the error ora-12638CredentialRetrievalFailed. This happens due to the failure of the Windows API AcquireCredentialsHandle() in the NTS adapter inside the .NET remote object. Refer to My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetalink) for more details.

6.3 Windows Firewall Configuration

Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Service Pack 2 changes the security of WebDAV configurations. The following access error message may display when computers with Windows XP Service Pack 2 attempt to access an Oracle XML DB repository using the HTTP/Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol from Windows Explorer or other tools:

The folder you entered does not appear to be valid. Please choose another.

Perform the following steps to access Oracle XML DB from a client computer using the WebDAV protocol:

Create the following registry key on the client system and set it to a non-zero value:

6.4 Local Oracle Database Client Connections

If you plan to connect the Oracle Database to a release of Oracle Database Client that is earlier than 10g Release 2 (10.2), you cannot do so if all of the following conditions exist:

Oracle Database Client is running on the same computer as Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2).

Microsoft Windows Terminal Services is not running on the same computer as Oracle Database Client. Typically, Terminal Services is installed and configured with Microsoft Windows 2003, but on Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP, it may not be installed or enabled.

Oracle Database Client is version 9.0.x to 9.2.0.6 or 10.1 to 10.1.0.3.

Oracle Database Client is not running as Administrator.

To remedy this problem, upgrade Oracle Database Client to release 9.2.0.7, or 10.1.0.4 or higher by downloading the Oracle Database Family patch set from My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) at:

6.5 Untranslated Start Menu Item for Oracle Workflow

If you install Oracle Database 10g Products, which include Oracle Workflow server, in a language other than English, the installation adds a submenu named Configuration and Migration Tools in English to the Windows Start menu under the corresponding Oracle home. This submenu includes only one item: Workflow Configuration Assistant. Other Oracle Database tools still appear under a separate, properly translated Configuration and Migration Tools submenu.

The transportable tablespaces feature accessible from the Maintenance tab has some limitations when generating and integrating tablespaces in Automatic Storage Management (ASM). The limitations and workarounds are described below:

Limitation:

There is a limitation when generating the transportable tablespace set on databases using ASM as storage. On Page 4, Files Page, if you provide the disk group name in the dump file location, you receive the following error when you submit the job:

On Page 4, Files Page, provide a file system location instead of the disk group name. Data files and dump files are generated on the file system location you provide.

Limitation:

There is a limitation when integrating the transportable tablespace set on databases using ASM as storage. On Page 2, Datafile Destination Page, if in the data files table you provide the same disk group name for all data files, you can receive the following error when you submit the job:

The home page is fully functional despite these exceptions, and these exceptions should disappear within five minutes. Starting and stopping Enterprise Manager Database Control should also make these exceptions disappear.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4562655.

6.8 Remote Users Not Being Added to ORA_DBA Group in Cluster Installations

When you install Oracle Database on Microsoft Windows, Oracle Universal Installer creates a Windows local group called ORA_DBA, and then adds your Windows user name to it. Members of ORA_DBA automatically receive the SYSDBA privilege. However, for cluster installations, Oracle Universal Installer does not add the user to ORA_DBA if they have performed the installation remotely. As a result, this user cannot log in to SQL*Plus using the SYSDBA role.

Workaround:

Manually add remote users to ORA_DBA.

See Also:

Oracle Database Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit) for more information about ORA_DBA and instructions for manually granting administrator and operator privileges for an Oracle database

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4553355.

6.9 Removing Metrics for Wait Classes Removes Them Permanently

Do not remove the key values for the wait class metrics. Doing so removes them permanently and currently there is no easy way to recover them.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 4602952.

6.10 Port-Specific Limitation for UTL_FILE

The service account for OracleServiceSID, where SID represents the Oracle system identifier of the database instance, must be Local System, you can only use the UTL_FILE function for read and write operations on files that are stored on local file systems. In other words, due to this limitation, UTL_FILE cannot access remote or shared file systems.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 5591946.

6.11 MAX_IDLE_BLOCKER_TIME Does Not Work in Oracle RAC Environment

Setting a value for MAX_IDLE_BLOCKER_TIME feature of Resource manager does not work as expected in Oracle RAC environment.

Workaround:

Set a value for MAX_IDLE_TIME instead of setting a value for MAX_IDLE_BLOCKER_TIME.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6114355.

6.12 Database Control Does Not Display the Listener Details

When you connect to the database using Database Control, the page does not display the listener details.

Workaround:

After installing Oracle Database 10g Release 2, you must shut down the Database Control with the command emctl stop dbconsole. Modify the targets.xml file located in ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\hostname_SID\sysman\emd directory so that the value of the machinename field is the same for listener and database. Restart Database Control with the command emctl start dbconsole to display the listener details.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6743916.

6.13 Unmounted Diskgroup After Restart

The diskgroup does not get mounted after restarting the computer.

Workaround:

Change startup type of OracleASMService+ASMInstanceName into manual from the Services Control Panel and restart the node.

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 6688751.

6.14 Oracle Process Management Services Not Created after Node Addition

When a new node is added to a cluster after upgrading the database, Oracle Process Management Services do not get created automatically.

Workaround:

After completing the upgrade process, run the following command from the CRS_home\bin directory on each node:

opmd -install

This issue is tracked with Oracle bug 7045359.

6.15 Vendor Clusterware Restrictions for Node Names

If you use a vendor clusterware with Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters, then you must use the node names and host names registered with that vendor clusterware you have installed. Refer to the Certifications page on My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) for information about vendor clusterware supported for your Windows distribution.

7 Documentation Corrections and Additions

This section lists the following corrections to installation guides for Microsoft Windows (32-bit)

7.1 Oracle Data Provider for .NET and Oracle RAC Issues

The Oracle Data Provider for .NET Dynamic Help differs slightly from the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Developer's Guide (in Acrobat PDF), due to terminology changes describing Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC). These differences occur in the "Connection Pooling for Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC)" section in Chapter 3 of the Oracle Data Provider for .NET Developer's Guide. The information in this guide is up to date. The main differences are as follows:

The Dynamic Help refers to Load Balancing and the guide refers to Runtime Connection Load Balancing in several places. The Dynamic Help refers to a basis in real-time workload metrics and distribution policy and the guide refers to the load balancing advisory and service goal in several places.

Only the Dynamic Help includes the following sentence (in the first paragraph of the first subheading of Chapter 3):

Furthermore, ODP.NET connection pool can be enabled to proactively free resources associated with connections that have been severed due to a down Oracle RAC service, service member, or node.

The Dynamic Help references Oracle Real Application Clusters Quick Start and the guide references Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide and Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide in a See Also note. The Dynamic Help references the Oracle Real Application Clusters Administrator's Guide and the guide references Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide in another See Also note.

The guide includes the following note in the second subheading:

Note:

The database service being connected to must be configured for AQ_HA_NOTIFICATIONS. For more details, see Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide

The guide includes the following paragraph in the first list item:

In order to use Runtime Connection Load Balancing, specific Oracle RAC configurations must be set. For further information, see Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide. Oracle Net Services should also be configured for load balancing. See Oracle Database Net Services Administrator's Guide for further details.

If the InitialLOBFetchSize is set to a nonzero value, GetOracleBlob() and GetOracleClob methods are disabled. BLOB and CLOB data are fetched by using GetBytes and GetChars methods, respectively.

This was corrected to appear as follows under: For Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2) and later:

Prior to Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2), if the InitialLOBFetchSize is set to a nonzero value, GetOracleBlob and GetOracleClob methods were disabled. BLOB and CLOB data was fetched by using GetBytes and GetChars methods, respectively. In Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2), this restriction no longer exists. GetOracleBlob and GetOracleClob methods can be used for any InitialLOBFetchSize value zero or greater.

7.3 Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC Virtual IP Address Status

In Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows, the following text of the section 2.6.1, "IP Address Requirements," in Chapter 2, "Pre-Installation Tasks," states that the virtual IP address (VIP) should respond to a ping command:

During installation, Oracle Universal Installer uses the ping command to ensure that the VIP is reachable.

The preceding statement is incorrect. Before installation, the VIP address should be configured in DHCP or /etc/hosts, or both, but it must not be assigned to a server that can respond to a ping command.

7.4 Use Cloning to Add a Third Node to a Two-Node Cluster

To add nodes to a two-node cluster on which the Oracle Database has been upgraded from release 1 (10.1) to release 2 (10.2), you must use the procedures described in Oracle Universal Installer and OPatch User's Guide for Windows and UNIX. In this scenario, do not use the addNode procedure in Oracle Database Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Real Application Clusters Administration and Deployment Guide.

Use the following syntax to delete a node from Oracle Real Application Clusters Databases:

setup.exe -updateNodeList ORACLE_HOME=Oracle_home

CLUSTER_NODES="" -local

The updated document, B14197-10, is available on OTN.

7.6 Incorrect Default Value for OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN

In Oracle Database Platform Guide for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit), Chapter 14, "Configuration Parameters and the Registry," incorrectly states the default value for OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN as false. The correct default value for OSAUTH_PREFIX_DOMAIN parameter is true.

In Oracle Database Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit), Chapter 4, section, "Installing Oracle Database 10g Products from the Companion CD," erroneously states that JPublisher and Oracle SQLJ are installed. The correct information is that JPublisher is not a part of Companion CD and Oracle SQLJ Demos are installed with the Companion CD instead of Oracle SQLJ.

In Oracle Database Companion CD Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows (32-Bit), Chapter 1, section, "Products Available in the Oracle Database 10g Products Installation Type," erroneously states that JPublisher and Oracle SQLJ are installed. The correct information is that JPublisher is not a part of Companion CD and Oracle SQLJ Demos are installed with the Companion CD instead of Oracle SQLJ.

Note:

The SQLJ Demos are installed if Oracle SQLJ was installed before running the Companion CD installation.
